Music Lessons in Fayette, KY

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Music

My method of teaching is very detailed instruction. There are many books that tend to start with the assumption that you know something about music or that music is easy to just "pick up." I like to start from the students' most basic skill level and fill in all the gaps as they progress. This means that starting out might be a bit slow, but the learning curve for future lessons is shortened and students eventually end up further ahead than if they skipped around. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 4+ years ago, I had been teaching them out of my home.

I especially love working with those who are proacticing for auditions of any type, professional, high school, choir, solo, theatre, or allstate. Read More

Though music theory and the abstract concepts of tonal harmony are wonderful tools to help broaden the spectrum of ones creativity, they are not what make a musician a good musician. Honesty to oneself and being able accurately represent that in a musical form does, so my teaching style has become a search to find what the student wants to say through music and do whatever I can do to give them the necessary tools to bring it out of themselves.

In my experience, this can be very encouraging and inspirational for students, especially when they've been frustrated with their progress or are worried because they don't believe they can play at the level they want. Over the past 4 years of teaching students, I believe my greatest strength is inspiring students to be the best they can, and learning to disregard what others may think, because music is all about your enjoyment!

Instruments: Piano

Most of my students use Alfred's Piano Course. After just a few lessons, we add in additional books and songs to expose the student to as much music as possible. I believe that the more music a student is exposed to, the better a musician he or she becomes. With the exception of recital pieces, I rarely spend more than a few weeks on one song, but instead focus on guiding students to play a wide variety of music at their level. Read More
